..But I'm Dying Testo

So why don't I blow the lid off this can of worms?
I think there might be a prize at the bottom
It's a Cracker Jack deal
I'll be free and you'll be rid of me
Everything's gold on the surface of the moment
But I take my coffee much blacker than you ever will
And when my day comes crashing down
At 3 a.m., without a sound
You're fast asleep...but I'm dying.

You're making me laugh
But I don't want to laugh anymore
People laugh when they don't really know the score
And laughing is just one step away
From crying...and I don't want to do that today
A bit of a piece of a fragment of you is enough
I can file it away with the last six months
In a tattered envelope
Stuck away in a book that I never read
Everything's gold on the surface of the moment
But I take my coffee much blacker than you ever will
And when my day comes crashing down
At 3 a.m., without a sound
You're fast asleep...but I'm dying.

I had a dream last night 'bout an angel
She was laughing at me, but so sweetly
Then she kicked me out the door
I fell out of bed and now my ribs are sore
Everything's gold on the surface of the moment
But I take my coffee much blacker than you ever will
And when my day comes crashing down
At 3 a.m., without a sound
You're fast asleep, but I'm dying
You're doing fine, but I'm dying.
